Development and modelling of dust suppression technology

Over 50 per cent of Australia's export income is derived from industries that rely on bulk materials handling and processing. With greater throughputs and increasing integration of transport routes, ports and residential communities, more pressure is being placed on industry to control its dust emissions. There is an urgent need for Australia to invest in a more unified and scientific approach to develop and optimise dust suppression technology for mining and export infrastructure. This project will help secure the sustainability of Australia's bulk exports by ensuring that products can be handled, conveyed and loaded safely and reliably. It will also reduce the risk of exposing workers and the community to unsafe concentrations of airborne dust.
